People need to stop arguing whether a diet is “natural” or not. That doesn’t matter because natural ≠ superior and unnatural ≠ inferior. It’s so infuriating. It’s absolutely a good thing we aren’t eating contaminated water, soil and poop anymore. People just need to take a chewable B12 supplement if they are at risk of a deficiency regardless of their diet. If it’s not absorbing properly then take sublingual instead. If your levels still aren’t going up then get tested to see if you have a messed MTHFR gene and thus need methylated B12 You make many good points. Thanks for not playing down the necessity of vegans taking B12 just for the sake of painting diets without animal products as the most “natural”

His book, "The Story of the Human Body" is a game changer.

ANIMAL MEAT is BEST for the HEART. Cholesterol is essential. It is the SUGAR that kills not SATURATED FAT

My mom is almost 96 years old and she loves vegetables. Well she eats meat but seldom.

I live in Maine and I am heavily affected by PFAs as someone that comes from a family of farmers I feel the pain can’t even eat your own damn fish that you catch without worrying about cancer How am I supposed to feel my freezer with deer that is contaminated 😢 we have a real problem here and something needs to be done.

By your reson i am a truck driver i should be dead after 5 years for siting all day

I grew up in the 1950's, and I remember getting my polio vaccine in a sugar cube when I was about 10 years old. I consider modern medicine a huge blessing (but not in the "godly" sense), but as an enormous benefit from all the history of vaccines and the hard working scientists of our modern era. I am, however, suspicious of the mRNA "vaccines", and have refused all of them from my doctor and pharmacist. I am wondering if someday you might address this?

his so true, its so important

good man

Cool guy....

A stool with three legs never wobbles. It's best done with three parts: exercise, healthy diet and an active livestyle.

I do not understand Dr. Columbus' reply to; what would happen to someone who takes the drug and eats cake, meat or something that raises his or her cholesterol.

I am annoyed by how much nutrition and climate change have become politicized. Unlike probably most people here, I'm right of center on a lot of issues, but I tend to trust the science when it comes to nutrition, climate, and most tother things. Scientists tend to be very careful and not jump to conclusions, though there are exceptions to this rule. Anyway, I will echo that nutrition has become annoyingly tribalized in our society.

My condolences for the loss of your precious canine.

The vegetables and plants humans were eating ay back then weren't covered in insecticides and pesticides and are really nothing like the vegetables today. Love when someone points out the hypocrisy in others and then completely turns in to a hypocrite themselves. Eat whatever makes you happy and healthy. There's no one way that works for everyone. But to point out the meat we were eating thousands of years ago isn't like the meat we are eating today and failing to point out the same things about the plants and fruits we were eating is so misleading and doesn't help your point at all.

Thanks. At 70, after many years of digesting scientific studies I pretty much circle back to good food (WFPB for me) and physical activity in nature as cornerstones of health. Both feed into mental health as well. One disappointment though, is that many scientists, especially in the exponentially growing longevity field do very little to show how their favorite pathway/gene can be modulated by diet and exercise, but instead opt for pill/drug development.

Thank you for doing what you do!

I could listen to the two of you talk for days. Fantastic video. Chris, do you still run? I'm a marathon runner and am definitely keeping an eye on a solid explanation for the phenomenon of increased heart attack risks for endurance athletes ... the "U" curve Columbus mentions.

I’m of two minds on this. First and foremost I think it’s a really great name change. I can understand why plant choppers might not work for everybody in the world and Viva longevity really does hit the mark. On the other hand, I really like the idea that I was an insider to some great content with a sense of humour so-there is a little bit of sadness. Still a fan .

Realistic and true any physical activity is beneficial for body if person like to live healthy and relatively long life then sedentary lifestyle is not beneficial our evolution is prove of it

Dr Batiste is a wonderful speaker! I really appreciate how he makes these complex topics easy to understand with his analogies . Thank you

Let me start off by saying that I'm a big fan of Dr. Lieberman. He makes sense in so many ways. However, that point he makes with regard to eating meat and comparing that to vegetarians, seems to me, to be overlooking some things. First, Dr. Berry makes the point about humans over thousands of years have adapted to eating meat. Dr. Lieberman doesn't address that, when we know, in fact, that we have adapted, through evolution to certain things. Comparing that to our ancestors not sleeping on mattresses or sitting in chairs really isn't fair, we invented those things over time. Second, we know that we get certain vitamins and nutrients in meat that cannot be gotten in a vegetarian diet, unless you are very very careful about your selection of foods and supplements. Finally, I admit that overall vegetarians are healthier than omnivores but that is because vegetarians, almost as part of their definition are more health conscious. They most likely don't smoke and don't drink alcohol at all or very little, and probably get more exercise. If you compared them to an omnivore who follows those same principals, I think you would likely find their health and longevity are pretty much the same. I love listening to Dr. Lieberman and I would love to hear his response.

Cast your mind forward a million years, Donald Trump‘s fossil remains have been discovered off the coast of Nebraska. Researchers have studied them and a descendent of Anthony Chaffee claims the optimal human diet is KFC.

"Don't let the old man in"

You lose most of your audience when you day no alcohol. I have two drinks a week, not a day.

This guy is either completely ignorant or is a shill for big food and big pharma. He spends his life putting in stents that has made him very wealthy and is giving advice that will lead to more and more stents If you look at the true research on stents and statins you will see they have very little effect as far as your future survival. He is simply pushing the same kind of nonsense that continues to make people sick with early onset chronic disease. If you do not address this epidemic of insulin resistance and diabetes and prediabetes then you are doing nothing to reduce the chronic illness that is also epidemic in our country. He is pushing the same exact nonsense that got us in this mess so I guarantee you this guy has no clue what he's doing other than he knows how to stick stents in your arteries which you could train anyone to do. The interviewer in this episode is also a nut Job. Anyone who does these long distance runs and bicycling is asking for trouble and an early death it's been shown over and over again. It leads to poor metabolic health instead of good metabolic health these guys simply do not get it if you listen to this nonsense you are listening to stuff that's going to hurt your health instead of making it better

Among the 7th day Adventists, I (gently) want to point out a conundrum. They rely upon scientific evidence for diet, yet believe in a god, in which there is absolutely no evidence for its' existence. I just find this dichotomy among humans (not just the Adventists) to be a fascinating insight into the thinking processes of humans.

❤ trrue soldier.Amazing true inspirational story.

I'm happy with the name change! I promote plant-based diets (and have been vegan for 40 years) but I love grounding this on solid evidence, with hopefully no bias. So for me it's helpful being able to direct people to a channel that also treasures evidence and doesn't start from any specific position other than a wish to help improve human and planetary health.

Would never have looked at the channel without Plant Chompers name.

I think smart people know there is no magic bullet or pill for anything, no matter how much losers and muppets want it to be true. Not since the cowboy days of snake oil. Exercise comes close, but more importantly it reduces the risk of all-cause mortality.

Notice necrovore ( omni like most call it) is not even close on this list....

Vegetarian diet is not for everyone .. also it’s about how you cook/eat the vegetables.. if burning those vegetables or deep frying them, then it’s not that healthy .. I tried a fish and vegetarian diet for 3 months and ended up with chest pain. When I did the blood work, some of the numbers like cholesterol went up through the roof. Then I had to switch back to my normal diet, which is like 3-4 eggs a day, meat, etc. everybody’s body is different..

In September this year I got concerned about the milk I was drinking it used to sour sometimes before the use by date. But in September I bought a gallon of whole milk first thing I noticed was instead of use by date it now is sell by date. Second thing I noticed that this gallon of milk was over a month old and it was still "good" so I googled why milk is lasting so long and thats when I first heard about "forever chemicals" and they are now making milk in a lab. The article also said they are even putting these chemicals in organic milk and its not just milk It's fruit and vegetables, meats, etc. And they don't even put these chemicals on labels.

this is excellent information! thanks sir.

The evidence FOR a plant-based diet is even less substantial ITO health and longevity. No one has ever said that saturated fat PROTECTS you from heart disease. There is no evidence that is CAUSES CAD or CHD. Association is not necessarily causation. Muscle LOSS is the issue. Strength training solves that problem.

Dr.Esselstyn basically recommends a no oil/high carb diet plus 6 doses of nitric oxide producing greens. Does Esselstyns diet promote insulin resistance without the added greens? If you add 6 servings of greens to other diets would the results be similar? Just wondering 😊

Optimum diet is prudent omnivorism. I speak from abundant experience since 1984 with direct flesh blood and bone experience. And I realize it can be a differences with different people and of course, there are different practices and details

My God, I love her!!!!!! What a gem!!!!!

Hmmm. 😮 carnivor diet.

Please make your interviews available on Spotify or Audible or something, so that they are consumable on the move. Thanks ❤.

I'm interested in a video on kidney health. I'm worried about mine but all the doctors I've seen don't seem worried.

Lol, its obvious he is this kind of nutrition guru you see everywhere... Why the effort of even dealing with that?

❤❤❤

Sir ur good soul' u will live one more 100
